THE DIAGRAM (October 25, 2008)
Something funny happened to me just after midnight this morning. I was ready to go to sleep when I “received” an image that kind of demanded to be recorded. It was a circle, but it was clear that more was soon to follow. A moment later it was bisected by a vertical line that extended from way above the circle to way below it. Next I saw a horizontal segment running toward the right from a point just under the upper intersection of the circle and the vertical line. Then appeared a horizontal segment running toward the left from a point just above the lower intersection of the circle and the vertical line. Both segments extended way beyond the circle. Immediately afterwards, a smaller circle appeared within the bigger circle. Next I saw a capital letter “Q” to the right of the smaller circle but within the perimeter of the larger one. Then a capital letter “R” appeared to the right of the first letter and just outside of the larger circle. A moment later I saw something looking like an unusually large equal sign under the letter “R” and to the right of the intersection between the bigger circle and the vertical line. And then I saw a number some way below the parallel lines: I think it was “2012,” but it could have been “2013,” as well. I dutifully drew all this on a piece of paper, but then I felt compelled to redraw it into my notebook. Before I was finished, I felt I had to record the exact sequence in which everything came to me. Only then I could go to sleep. I slept well, too. Some twenty hours later, though, I feel that I must commit the entire experience to writing. Can anyone tell me what all of this is about? The diagram means absolutely nothing to me, I must admit.
